Men who look like slobs at airports are legion. They are also your best friend.

Because these men set the bar very low, which means it doesn’t take much for you to step up your airplane style game.

Look, no one’s asking you to wear a three-piece suit. But we are asking, despite all the perceived hassles that come with air travel, to consider attire that serves both the desire to be comfortable and the desire to make good first impressions. In other words: the guy in ill-fitting sweats and a band tee never gets the free upgrade.

Below, three different outfits for the stylish jetset. No matter what class you’re flying, at least you know you’ll be flying in style.
